Rosemary And Onion Roast Chicken Recipe

Looking for an easy dinner using chicken thighs and simple ingredients likely to be found in your pantry and fridge? There's no need to turn on the oven or fire up the grill with this recipe; turn on the stovetop and let the flavors of caramelized onions and rosemary do the work for you.

The chili powder-honey mixture brings out warmth and sweetness as the thighs cook. Prefer not to include the honey? That's fine - the chili powder, ginger paste, and lemon juice bring a spicy bite to this marinade.

Try these thighs with a salad or make a celeriac mash. The creamy twist on mashed potatoes will pair well with these thighs. Use any leftover chicken in a salad or toss in a breakfast scramble.
